Bred by Stickler Show Pigs

Take a ride back in time with us to the 1988 National Barrow Show® when Sasquatch was named champion boar. Jim Trowbridge had a passion for purebred Spots and a vision and work ethic like no other. He secured these genetics over time by utilizing frozen semen from SGI. When the Trowbridge family brought those genetics to Springfield a few years back, we jumped at the opportunity. We purchased the 100% Spotted female just to mate her to our old line Lovgren boar, Duggie. The rest will soon be history. LOUIE is one of a kind. Prehistoric bone, soundness, with toughness and durability. His first litter was born last February and is all we had hoped for on a key Duggie sow. We hope to take them to this year’s National Barrow Show® if everything goes right. TOTAL outcross to modern-day Spots and a breath of fresh mouth wash, Louie could just be the one to move us forward!

We are currently farrowing year-round to meet all your A huge thank you to our Springfield Summer Type Conference buyers! show pig needs.

We sell semen on our boars year around so give us a call — we will have a boar that fits your sow!

Who’s In — Jack In The Box x Jumper Cables

We’re In — Jack In The Box x Jumper Cables

This 2018 STC Champion Boar has not disappointed us one bit since incorporating him into our herd at Van Horne, Iowa. His maturity with heaviness of structure, feet and legs, awesome look with balance and eye appeal have been prepotent on our sows. He is strong enough to get another shot to make better Chesters.

Co-owned with, and housed at, Upperhand Genetics.

I selected this boar as 2018 STC Reserve Champion Boar and decided he needed to be utilized at Schminke’s Genetics.

You cannot make him or his progeny any better designed or anymore correct on their feet and legs with structure and eye appeal. This one gets us excited about the future.

Co-owned with, and housed at, Upperhand Genetics.

Been There — Pillow Talk x Jack In The Box

Done That — Pillow Talk x Jack In The Box

Bred by Pruet Livestock, this boar’s dam is We’re In’s littermate sister (2018 Team Purebred National Junior Show Champion Chester Gilt). When Travis Platt sent in a video on this one it did not take us long to say we will partner with you. Incredible in his rib shape, heaviness of structure, masculinity and awesome from every angle. This guy gets us excited!

Co-owned with, and housed at, Upperhand Genetics.

Littermate to Been There

This guy is best described as a cocky, show hog! He is impeccably balanced and just plain fun to look at. We knew we had to be part of Done That when finding out how he was bred.

His awesome mother and unbelievable look, profile and feet and legs sealed the deal for us. Things will continue to be good for our breeding program.

ABA Viewpoint

The reason for the season Byline: Alex Conover ABA Director of Operations

Raise your hand if you feel like this summer has been a blur! Since you last heard from me, many of you started June with The Exposition and ended the month at the Team Purebred National Junior Show and ABA and CPS Summer Type Conference. The calendar then quickly turned to July bringing on your local county fair and now you are running full speed ahead to either your state fair, the Eastern Regional, National Barrow Show® or for some, ALL three!

If an outsider looked in and viewed the lives of our junior families the past few months, they would see thousands of miles driven to attend shows, countless nights spent on the road or in a hotel, numerous hours each day consumed in the barn, weekends sacrificed, and countless dollars invested into what they would call “just a pig”.

Team Purebred events give our youth a stage to hone their skills.

For those of you who have had the privilege growing up as members of Team Purebred or as a parent who has witnessed the development of a junior member, you know that it is much more than numerical values which can be calculated, and it certainly in NOT just a pig.

Passionate, hardworking young men and women are the by-products of all of those quantitative figures listed above. Community leaders, animal husbandry specialists, business entrepreneurs and corporate CEOs are just a few of the career paths our juniors members many chose to

pursue. Team Purebred events give our youth a stage to hone their skills. When they leave, they are equipped with the tools and confidence to become the next generation of agricultural ambassadors.

The kids who step off the trailers at our national junior show come from all corners of the country and all walks of life. However, they share a common thread: they all have a passion for animal agriculture and a drive to succeed.

Additionally, they all come with a competitive spirit that is put to the test as they compete in judging contests, skilla-thons, showmanship, and ultimately in their respective classes. It is inspiring to watch as competitors in the show ring forge enduring friendships that last a lifetime.

I urge our junior members to not take their time in Team Purebred for granted. It goes by quickly! When you leave us, take with you the lessons that you have learned throughout your show career, learn from your failures and build on your successes.

In this issue of the Breeders Digest, we like to highlight the success and accomplishments of our youth. However, I would be remised if I did not take time to thank the members of the “pit crew” who enable our junior exhibitors to participate in our events. The pit crew is made up of parents, siblings, grandparents, and other supporters who provide our Team Purebred youth with time and resources to chase their passions and be successful. They are often the ones behind the scenes coordinating logistics, picking up feed, or simply doing laundry in order to prepare for the next show. They show up with spray bottles, encourage from the sidelines, celebrate in victory, and console in defeat.

Thank you for all that you do! “ Your talent determines what you can do. Your motivation determines how much you are willing to do. Your attitude determines how well you do it.” — Lou Holtz

With 52 consecutive years of raising elite Spotted hogs, the Johnson Spot Farm and this family are known for productive, sound, healthy and industry improving hogs.

With success on a national level, this family built a strong customer base, based on genetics, honesty, trust and the fundamentals of hog production. Certainly a name a lot of Spotted fraternity is proud to call one of their own.

Congratulations to the entire Johnson family for this well-deserved award.

Dr. Lorraine Hoffman honored with ABA Distinguished Service Award Dr. Lorraine Hoffman was honored with the American Berkshire Association Distinguished Service Award at the 2019 Berkshire Summer Type Conference. Lorraine and her husband, Pete, have been the owners and operators of Phenotypic Acres for over 50 years, located at Ames, Iowa.

Lorraine exemplifies what it means to be a Berkshire breeder, as she has spent her life tirelessly promoting opportunities for youth and mentoring the next generation. Lorraine is an active member in the Ames community where she has served on local church and school boards, as well as a strong promoter of the Story County 4-H program.

Since 2005, Lorraine has volunteered her time as a board member on the American Berkshire Foundation. In her time on the American Berkshire Foundation Board, Lorraine has served as president and spearheaded many initiatives that have led to the foundation’s success. Lorraine’s passion for the next generations is evident as she interacts with the scholarship winners each year at the Summer Type Conference. The American Berkshire Association would like to congratulate Lorraine on this outstanding accomplishment.

Larry Stanley honored with ABA Distinguished Service Award Larry Stanley was honored with the American Berkshire Association Distinguished Service Award at the 2019 Berkshire Summer Type Conference. Larry operates Stanley Berkshires located 45 minutes west of Indianapolis in Coatesville, Indiana. Larry bought his first Berkshire from Lynnwood Farms in 1950, as a first year 4-H’er. Larry went on to win the Hendricks County Fair that year and Larry’s Berkshire herd grew from there.

Since 1950, Larry has shown many champions across the country and is credited with raising multiple sires who have gone on to become breed changers, such as the boar named LUKE, sold in the 1970s. Today Larry, and his girlfriend Karen Hampton, are still very active in the Berkshire breed and enjoy spending time with their grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Larry served on the American Berkshire Board of Directors from 1992-1995, and was instrumental in the development and implementation of the Berkshire Gold Meat Program. Furthermore, Larry has worked tirelessly on the state level, were he has volunteered countless hours to the Indiana Berkshire Association. Larry has served as president for three terms in addition to filling the secretary position for over 10 years. Larry was also an early promoter and supporter for the development of a junior association to encourage exhibition opportunities and educational events for youth involved in purebred swine. Larry’s dedication the Berkshire breed spans 69 years and counting, and his contributions are infinite. The American Berkshire Association congratulates Larry on this outstanding accomplishment.

Ross Conrady Family receives Chester White Distinguished Service Award The Chester White Swine Association honored the Ross Conrady family of Elkhart, Ill., during the 2019 Summer Type Conference in Springfield, Ill. Tragically killed in an automobile accident near his home during his final year of school, Ross Conrady and his family had already started to acquire some elite Chester White hogs to incorporate into a commercial setting.

Appreciating this genetic and production volume in the Chester White breed, Dave and Lisa Conrady started a purebred herd called RBC Chesters in Ross’ honor. Today, the herd is noted across America as productive, healthy, honest and hard working—just like Ross was.

Congratulations to the Conrady family for receiving this well deserved and well respected award.

Hereford Breed Association recognized Don Geer Clint High Farms and Don Geer of New Vienna, Ohio, are recognizable names and great ambassadors for the Hereford breed.

Through Don’s input, leadership and strong voice and insistence, Hereford swine have made unbelievable strides in acceptance, financial stability and name recognition across the country.

Don and his family were awarded the Distinguished Service Award during the 2019 Summer Type Conference. Congratulations Don and Geer family on this well-deserved recognition.

Chris Lanham recognized by Hereford Swine Association There is no doubt that the current rise in popularity within the Hereford breed has been the result of many individuals but none more noticeable than Chris Lanham of Whiteland, Indiana. Chris has served as president of the association for several years and his leadership and determination has allowed the Hereford breed to not only grow but also build a name recognizable across off purebred industry.

As one of the first two recipients of the Hereford Swine Association Hall of Fame, Chris and his family were recognized during the Hereford Swine Show at the 2019 Summer Type Conference in Springfield, Illinois. A leader, a dedicated husband and father, Lanham is a well-deserved recipient of the special award. Congratulations to Chris and his family.

Spotted Board of Directors honor Dan Baker Starting with a Spotted sow as a FFA project in 1958, Dan Baker of Lafayette, Indiana, began a lifelong journey in purebred hogs, which continues today. Serving as a breed fieldman at the age of 20, working his first sale at the age of 19 and selling purebred hog sales for over 50 years, gives this high-quality professional and industry leader high marks from all levels of the swine industry.

When character, professionalism, knowledge and leadership matters, Dan Baker is one of the very best who has ever sat behind a microphone. Recognized by Spotted breeders during the Spotted hog show held in Springfield, Illinois, Dan is a well-deserving individual to receive this award.

George Bruns Receives Spotted Hall of Fame Award Spotted hogs, helping kids in Illinois and breed promotion—the name George Bruns, Tolono, Illinois, is synonymous with these items. Making a successful swine business with his parents, George has been a powerful Spotted supporter for many decades.

Since 1938 and for 45 continuous years, Bruns Spot Farm exhibited hogs at the Illinois State Fair. Many ribbons were collected and banners hung and the best gift George Bruns has given the purebred swine industry and Spotted breed is helping others and being an ambassador for kids and adults.

George, with a large contingency of family and friends present, was presented the Spotted Hall of Fame Award during the swine show at the 2019 STC. Congratulations to George and we thank him for his leadership and friendship.

BERKSHIRE The Exposition Show & Sale Report

Debut of The Exposition!

Byline: Jan Allen To say that this has been an historic year would be an understatement. All of American agriculture finds itself fighting for survival on many fronts. We had a winter that never seemed to end, a spring that was slow to show itself and rains and flooding that make you consider building an ark. As May gave way to June, many were ready for the annual migration to Des Moines and The Exposition.

The absence of the trade show did not dampen the enthusiasm for the shows and sales. For many, this first show and sale of the summer season is a chance to see old friends, make new ones, evaluate your winter pig crop and look for that next genetic piece. Berkshires hosted the largest shows of barrows and gilts on the Team Purebred side. There were 142 junior gilts and 63 barrows vying for spots in the champion drive. The champion Berkshire gilt banner went to Lakyn Mauk, a Keep Drinkin on a Shotgun Wedding. This gilt was selected 5th overall. Champion Berkshire Barrow was Ethan Beaman, sired by Medicine Man on a Chill Out sow. Many spectators remarked the quality ran deep—deep in the junior gilt and barrow shows. The same can be said for the open Berkshire show as breeders and buyers watched and listened to Kevin Wendt offer his comments as he sorted the classes.

Class 1 featured the youngest gilts of the day and was topped by a tall-fronted, athletic-stepping little lady driven by Seth Jackson. This February Non-Typical daughter had extra extension in her neck and hip and easily covered the ring with a long stride. The gilt who was the combination of style and power took the blue ribbon in class 2. The high performing, sound moving gilt in this class was sired

by Fence Post and shown by Brooklyn Skidgel. Blair and Bryan Bennett had the winner of class 3. A Medicine Man daughter that was the fastest growing gilt in the entire gilt offering. She was very correct in all her angles, sound and confident as she moved and looked like a momma with plenty of body and a high-quality underline. Class 4 featured the most diversity of type in the gilt show. Judge Wendt described the gilt in the first pen as one with a lot of flex in her skeleton and spine who was clean in her jowl and bone work with a long, smooth hip.

She had a fresh, youthful appearance and a stylish look. This gilt was shown by Austin Johnson and sired by One More Round. The largest class of the day had Baylee Boydston in tears of joy as her Shattered gilt took the top honor. This eyeappealing gilt had power packed into a supple skeleton with a refined underline. A Coattails daughter walked away with the win in class 6. The Supple family had a loose-spined gilt with extra depth of rib and a pretty, feminine silhouette. A single entry in class 7 that would have fared well with more competition belonged to the Wipple family. She was a powerfully built Blackmail daughter who boasted the largest loin eye area of any gilt shown.

Berkshire breeders drove a solid set of boars for Judge Wendt. Austin Lane started the boar show with the most charismatic boar in class 1. The Injured Reserve son had a great first look. He was big-chested, up-headed and had the highest weight-per-day-of-age of any boar in the class. Ben and Ethan Schmaling drove a Shattered son to take the prize in class 2. This was a very square-made boar with a lot of structural integrity, was big boned and had center width. Class 3 had another Shattered son in the lead off spot shown by Brandon and Bryson Stickler. He was up-headed, long-fronted, sound with extra reach and level from blade to hip. The final class of the day had a Game On son in the first spot. This Brice Conover entry was a big, rugged, stout-made boar with a big foot and a big blade.

As the first and second place gilts made their way to the ring for the champion 22

3 Reasons to Support Youth who Raise Livestock

Building Leaders

By Jessica Judge • From AGWEB Farm Journal Some people claim that raising livestock through FFA and 4-H hardens the hearts of our industry’s young people. Yet, if you have been involved in these organizations, you know it does just the opposite. Raising livestock awakens the soul and gives young people a purpose. It gives them a reason to wake up each day and be a caretaker and teaches the proper way to care for animals to ultimately deliver a safe product to the marketplace.

Whether you agree or not with the concept of raising livestock for food, it has been a common practice in our culture for centuries and a practice that is sure to continue. And the truth is, the livestock raised by youth live the very best life on earth, and our young people learn endless life lessons along that journey.

Young people take so much pride in caring for their animals, and they make great stewards of livestock for many reasons.

1. Their care comes from their hearts, not from their pockets While raising livestock teaches young people to be financially responsible and work hard for what they will eventually earn, the quality of care along the way stems directly from the heart.

Kids make a commitment to their animals for months ahead of time and take on lots of responsibility each day. The time they spend with their animals before the fair is filled with washing them daily, brushing and working their hair or conditioning their skin, exercising, showmanship practice and providing superior nutrition both morning and night. When you spend that much time with an animal, a special bond quickly forms, and that bond propels young people to give the best life possible to their livestock. If our animals are going to be used for production agriculture, it makes sense to put them in the care of young people who spend time with them each day and build a relationship with them from the moment they bring them home and give them a name.

2. It’s more than just an endpoint, it’s an experience.

Youth involved in raising livestock through programs like 4-H and FFA are interested in more than just selling their animal at the county or state fair. Most young people involved in showing livestock are also involved in other activities within 4-H and FFA and are interested in becoming well-rounded adults and leaders. Through showing livestock, they are choosing to get a first-hand look at responsibility and what it takes to care for another living thing. They grow to understand the importance

and value of hard work and learn that nothing is attainable without setting goals and implementing efforts to get there.

They work to learn more about agriculture advocacy through developmental programs, which challenges them to seek out the best production practices to utilize when raising their stock. There is a lot more that goes into a livestock project than what goes in and out of the animal’s feed pan to get them to an endpoint. Kids not only make a commitment to an animal, but they make a commitment to themselves and typically to their club and community toward learning better life skills.

3. Young people who raise livestock today become the leaders of tomorrow.

Chances are a large percentage of the young people who raise and show livestock will land a career that impacts the agriculture industry. By choosing to raise livestock at a young age, youth learn the true value of livestock and through daily care, they develop a personal relationship with them. They grow an appreciation for the lessons livestock teach them, and these values, like responsibility, stewardship and work ethic, stay with them for the rest of their professional life. With the knowledge they learn about caring for animals and the memories they hold from their personal experiences, these young people go on to be industry leaders in the animal production industry.

They place emphasis on caring for each animal and work to research and implement the best care practices and the most relevant nutritional programs to give animals the best life possible.

Teaching youth about the purpose of livestock animals is not a cruel attempt to harden their hearts and squash their feelings, it is merely a reality of agriculture education. We ask extraordinary things of our animals each day—it takes extraordinary individuals to reciprocate the type of care our animals deserve.

There is no question that the youth of our industry have the BD biggest hearts and helpful hands to deliver such care.

B BERKSHIRE

Summer Type Conference Show & Sale Report

Berkshires still strong Byline: Jan Allen With most of the news in agriculture negative these days, the excitement and expectation of the 2019 Summer Type Conference was a welcome distraction for many. 2018 had us sweltering in record-breaking heat and humidity and Berkshires were red-hot as well with a record-selling boar. 2019 had milder weather, but still had Illinois heat and humidity and Berkshires are still hot!

The Team Purebred side saw 155 Berkshire barrows and gilts shown. Berks continue to lead junior show entries across all breeds and the quality was impressive. The bleachers were full and folks were two and three deep along the fences as the open show began with the youngest gilt class and was sorted by Brian Anderson. The lead-off gilt in class 1 was shown by Cason and Reagan Daulton. This Clean daughter was very complete and easy on the eyes. She was big ribbed, soggy and feminine-headed. As the gilts in class 2 entered the ring, you had to just say wow! A very deep class—quality top to bottom. The winner of this class “read true and right” for Judge Anderson. Her angles were as they should be and he felt she would be around for the long haul. She was a Barstool driven by Austin Lane.

In class 3, Judge Anderson found one “to hang your hat on”. This Juice Box daughter, owned by Alex Bruno, was “built right”. She was flexible in her spine, looked like a lady and had a great underline. Class 4 was a crowd pleaser and had folks around the ring studying the catalogs and making notes. This group of early January gilts was full of power and saw Harlan Reid in the top spot with a Big Time gilt. She had a long, pretty front-end, was easy-strided and was the deepest bodied gilt in the class. Class 5 had a big-ribbed, big topped gilt take the blue ribbon for Ryan Borer. This Medicine Man daughter had extra body, extra rib shape and was powerful end to end. The oldest class of the afternoon was won by a pretty lady owned by Austin Lane. This Barstool daughter caught your eye the minute she hit the ring. Tall fronted with lady-like features who covered the ring with ease. She was one of the fastest growing gilts in the class with a huge rib and center body. The lone bred gilt and champion was exhibited by Brice Conover.

This gilt was large scaled, easy going and very fluid as she moved around the ring. She was a Game On and bred to Fresh, due July 5. As the show rolled right on into the boars, the quality just kept coming. The fancy, fancy, fancy boar went straight to the top of class 1. This February son of Injured Reserve, shown by Eric, Taylor and Brock Robb, had the look—up-headed, big-skulled, plenty of bone and a ton of fancy. Class 2 was headed up by a Stephen Gentry entry, sired

by One More Round. This boar was easy on the eyes and moved with authority.

Smith Farms and a Juice Box son surfaced in class 3. His extra length of neck added to the showy profile of this boar. In class 4, Evan Patterson drove his Law And Order son to first place. This boar was very complete and very solid. A traditionally marked boar that was stout and correct, but still had style. Harlan Reid was back in the first pen for a second time with a Big Time son. This boar looked very natural, with bone to burn, a big foot and a long hip. Taylor Ferrill won class 6 with a Shattered son who caught Judge Anderson’s eye. This boar was in his working clothes but was a solid place to start. The final boar class of the day was also won by a Shattered son, owned by Day & White. This was a “true and fundamental” boar who could be part of many breeders’ programs.

As first and second place gilts were returning to the ring for the champion drive, the American Berkshire Association recognized two of its own with Distinguished Service awards. In part, our Association runs on the hours and hours that many of our breeders put into activities and events. We are eternally 28

blessed and grateful for their service. This years’ recipients were Lorraine Hoffman, Iowa, and Larry Stanley, Indiana.

As Brian Anderson was reflecting on the animals he had seen as the classes progressed, he said he appreciated the opportunity to offer his opinions. He also felt it was a good thing for breeders to step outside the breed for judges periodically. Brian said our goal is to raise productive hogs for the next generation and to make choices with that thought in mind. Brian felt that Berkshires were competitive in every ring, all across the country—they have come a long way.

The champion gilt was the winner of class 5, a Medicine Man daughter on a Monopoly owned by Ryan Borer.

CPS Viewpoint

The year of the pig Byline: Jack Wall

CPS Chief Executive Officer

I am not into the Chinese calendar but attempting to come up with a title for this page, I thought I remembered hearing about this salient fact, so with an assist from Google, I find it so.

There is no better title than the above for what the CPS breeds have experienced the past 60 days in show rings and sale pens across the country. Different shapes, sizes, phenotypes, and genetic diversity encompassed the high quality of purebred boars, gilts and barrows driven at The Exposition, the Team Purebred National Junior Show and the Summer Type Conference. We will let you select your breed of choice—there was definitely quality and variety to select from and hang your hat on.

Developing leaders is like building a herd of hogs that can generate for the next generation.

The continued growth of our junior youth organization, Team Purebred, and the leadership it has, and the excitement and talent of the junior board that conducts its activities is truly another positive step in what we are attempting to do and makes all of our efforts worthwhile.

Some of you, especially those who bred, fed, selected, or managed a winning pig will remember the occasion five years from now, but those of us in the so called “management positions” will remember the kids or young adults who stepped forward to lead this organization with an occasional thank you or handshake for their efforts.

Developing leaders is like building a herd of hogs that

can generate for the next generation. We always hope tomorrow is better than today and with the quality of young adults assisting us in Team Purebred, they leave no doubt.

Challenges, yes there will always be a few. But in this, The Year of the Pig, I can guarantee you the breed associations that encompass the CPS brand and the junior association we call Team Purebred, are talked about more positively than ever before. I can also guarantee that each of the four breed associations’ board of directors take great pride in and are carefully monitoring the genetic and phenotypic makeups of each of their breeds. It is their responsibility, given to them by the breeders and directors who came before them. With a clear vision for a better future, just like the Team Purebred junior board has in front of them, so do breed board of directors.

Making decisions that hopefully ensures a long-term, positive stability of breed associations shall always be job one of any breed board. Keeping breed purity, an accurate pedigree and making programs available for any breeder to utilize will make 2019 and beyond a progressive step to a better breed.

• Putting the proper and correct age on any litter recorded is non-negotiable.

• Putting the correct sire and dam on the litter application is non-negotiable.

• Feeding and administering the legal and prescribed ingredients and medicines are non-negotiable.

The Year of the Pig has brought forward several new genetic lines that, at least phenotypically, look to be a positive step to breed improvement. It also has allowed some breeders who have not had a great amount of success in the show ring an opportunity to get in the lime light.

It’s a long process and heavy commitment to be a seedstock and/or show pig producer. It is quite simple, however, to do it with morals, integrity, honesty, harmony, and passion. The staff of CPS will work with all of you but will continue to support those genetic programs and hogs who we believe represent the future of the breed and industry. Hopefully, you will join us in this wonderful BD world we call “pig raising.”

S SPOTTED

The Exposition

Show & Sale Report

Diversity, quality and excitement highlight 2019 The Exposition Byline: Jack Wall For all Spotted enthusiasts who witnessed the Spotted breeding show at Des Moines, Iowa, on June 7, I hope you will agree with me that as much quality yet phenotypic differences were available as any show in recent years. All you had to do is pick your type preference, frame size, and maturity preference, then put your hand in the air and breed better hogs. I liked this set quite a bit and have a high level of confidence that numerous boars and gilts will make their mark in breed progress or show ring success.

With the talented and noted Spotted hog breeder Bob Listen in charge, there was little doubt that a logical and sensible sale order would be aligned. Thanks to Mr. Listen for putting his priorities as skeletal correctness, structure, muscularity, build, and practicality and for his accurate analysis of the entire offering.

Fourteen Spotted boars were divided into four classes. Winning class 3 and selected champion was A-List Showpigs, the Lucht Family, on a Momentum x Instant Addiction son. This was an extremely well presented, stout structured, wide-based, skeletally correct boar with a herd boar look and a massive forearm.

This stress negative boar should be an extremely popular purchase at $11,000 for Top Cut Genetics. You might want to call early to get on the books on this powerful Spotted boar. Farrer Stock Farm captured reserve honors sired by City Slicker, the 2018 WPX Champion. If you desire them to be really bold ribbed, wide, balanced with great breed character and color with foot and bone, call Shipley Genetics who made this purchase at $2,750. Zimmerman’s had a pair of littermate class winners with their first class 4 boar and first class 5 champion gilt.

Sired by AZ Trading Favors with a DMDI5 Hybrid dam, the 65-4 boar might be the phenotype of the future. Extremely balanced, big footed, long fronted, and flexible with an extra long rump, yet muscular and built for the long haul.

Armstrong Genetics found the next step in their breeding program with this $6,500 purchase. I suspect J.R. will make him famous. Mitch Wilson’s second class 2 Scorpion son had show ring appeal, design, height at shoulder, a lean square top yet was sound and balanced. The Miller Triplets made a great $2,000 purchase here. Triggs’ second class 3 son of Emancipation was excellent in his design, good ribbed and long spined. He sold for $800 to Brian Guenther. The first class 1 son of Momentum was unique in his design, wide hipped and balanced shown by Bauwin Showpigs. He sold to the Hoges for $425. Additional boars selling were consigned by Niehaus & Feldman and Pierce & O’Dell.

Only one bred gilt was exhibited and this Raasch-Miller entry sired by GOS Patrick and bred to JMO Luke 12-2 was a long, level, feminine female with a unique blend of genetics. Fee Farms purchased her for $400. New blood is always intriguing.

A very competitive Spotted female show had several top prospects challenging for top honors. Zimmerman Hog Farm made sure that honor went to Beatrice, Nebraska. I loved the build, phenotype, skeletal makeup, length, length of front, foot size, and disposition of this unique female. Sired by a son of Trading Favors, Mercedes Schulz snuck this one out of Des Moines for $2,800. What a buy. Triggs’ first class 4 daughter of Emancipation offered a stout and broody skeleton with a feminine but great look and balance. She returned back to Mt. Ayr for $950.

Winning class 2 was Jacob Lauffenburger (littermate to the Wilson boar) with a tall shouldered, sound made, well designed, feminine lady sired by Scorpion. She sold to Kyle Schulte for $4,100. I think a real breeding piece was the McNeilDerr first class 3 Emancipation daughter. If you like them with rib, stoutness, 54

flexibility, and a really lean-square top, study this $4,500 Weisinger purchase.

The class 1 winner was Kynlea Myers’ Down Home daughter. She was great in her design and bone, was really correct and good. David Wion purchased her for $900. Farrer’s second class 4 City Slicker daughter was big bladed, had superior rib shape with a huge forearm and sold for $1,200 to Wolff Family Genetics.

Max Tongate’s second class 5 Momentum daughter had a breeding hog look. She was wide and stout with muscle shape. She was a bargain for the Triggs family for $400. Petree’s second class 1 gilt by Fast N Loud 37-3 was a unique breeding piece with a big foot, length of front and was level with great design. She returns to Glencoe, Oklahoma, for $1,500.

Eight additional problem free, structurally correct and breed contributors found new homes. As we started this article, we talked about diversity with quality.

That is exactly what we had from the first pen to the last. Soundness was much improved with ample look and eye appeal. The challenge goes to the progressive breeders to make the next generation better. The genetic pieces are there to make a big impact within the breed. How focused are you to make that next step?

Keep igs P r u o Y Y H T L A HE

BIOSECURITY is a critical step to keep your pigs healthy… BEFORE, DURING and AFTER a pig show. Following these

easy steps can keep your animals healthy and protect pigs across the country from getting sick.

BEFORE THE SHOW take these simple steps:

• If a pig is sick, call your veterinarian and do not attend a fair or exhibition.

• Before going to an exhibition, clean and disinfect your show box, equipment and truck and trailer. ü Clean, disinfect and dry all equipment to be used ü Use disinfectant according to its label

Be Aware of African Swine Fever African swine fever (ASF) is a foreign animal disease, meaning it is not currently seen in the United States. However, ASF is a very serious and costly disease that is spreading rapidly across Asia (including China), parts of Europe and Africa.

ASF can affects all ages and types of pigs, but ASF DOES NOT AFFECT PEOPLE. There is no treatment or vaccine available to control ASF. The only way to prevent the spread of the disease is to humanely euthanize infected pigs.

The clinical signs of ASF in pigs include: ü Very high fever (>105°F) ü Pigs off feed ü Weakness, diarrhea, vomiting ü Red, blotchy skin ü Difficulty breathing

DURING THE SHOW follow these steps:

• Keep your pen area clean and do not share equipment with other exhibitors.

• Wash your hands often with soap and running water before and after you have contact with animals. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.

• Monitor your pigs for any signs of illness • Report any illness to the veterinarian on-call.

AFTER THE SHOW when you come home from a fair/exhibition:

• Quarantine your pigs, watch for signs of illness • Clean and disinfect your trailer and all equipment (show boxes, feed pans, etc.)

The ASF virus can spread through direct contact with infected pigs and through contact with things such as boots, brushes or other equipment.

If your pig has signs of illness, contact your veterinarian immediately. If possible, isolate ill animals from healthy pigs.

Do not transport or market pigs that are showing illness. Basic biosecurity steps can help prevent the transmission and spread of many pig diseases, including ASF.

For more information about ASF and other foreign animal diseases, including A Champion’s Guide to Youth Swine Exhibition, visit pork.org/FAD

Summer Type Conference Show & Sale Report

Diversity, quality and excitement highlight 2019 Summer Type Conference Byline: Jack Wall CPS enthusiasts from across the country descended on Springfield, Illinois, for the Team Purebred National Junior Show and Summer Type Conference. A record number of over 1,600 entries and close to 1,100 pigs that arrived in the junior show, set the stage for an exciting week. One had to admire the depth of quality in the Spot show as 15 boars averaging $2,463 and 21 gilts averaging $1,214 sold on Saturday. Justin Grinstead, Indiana, carefully analyzed the offering with enthusiasm and honest appraisal.

Champion boar honors and claiming The Ross Hirschfeld trophy was Boman & Weber of Illinois. Sired by Momentum, the boar was truly wide and square carrying that width from his upper skeleton to the ground. Combine that with an attractive look and adequate soundness, he had all the pieces to be a champion.

Knauth & Olson purchased him for $2,500. The reserve boar was shown by Norman Bros. and was selected by Shaffer Goldrush at $3,500. The boar was sired

by Noise Complaint back on the same sow as their four popular littermate boars shown in 2018. Just like last year, you may see another one or two littermates shown before the summer is over. This Summer Type Conference individual had a huge rib cage and was exceptionally sound. Definitely one of my favorites of the show. His littermate placed third and possessed many of the same positive attributes. Stateline Genetics and George Holst are the new owners at $900.

Class 1 Spot boars was won by Dane and Kalyn Johnson, Indiana, with a How We Roll son. He was really tall fronted, had good muscle shape and never missed a step. Lovgren Spots went second with a powerfully made Sign Me Up son.

Pierce & O’Dell’s Honor Guard-sired boar sold for $600. The boar exemplified completeness, much like his sire who was shown at Springfield a year ago. Class 2 Spot boars was topped by Smith Show Pigs, Indiana. The fault free, wide based and big topped boar was sired by Full Throttle. Crossroads Genetics added him to their boar battery for $3,750. Placing second in class 2 was Triggs Show Pigs, Iowa, with a soun,d wide based Emancipation boar. Noah Roy went third with a bigger outlined and attractive Mayweather boar. He brought $400 to Geisgie, Ohio. Our top-selling Spot boar landed fourth in class 2. The Avery and Wyatt Bauer, Illinois, entry had an outcross pedigree for most. The Fight Club x Dream Big boar was so tall fronted, extremely sound, with a big hip and abundant back shape. It took Purple Power $9,000 to be able to take him to Chalmers, Indiana.

First place out of class 3 was Livermore Swine Genetics, Illinois. The Double Time son was very complete. You really couldn’t poke a hole in this one. Grady Genetics, Missouri, purchased him for $500. Foote Farms, Texas, appreciated the second-place boar in class 3, buying him for $4,000. This Sieren consignment was longer necked, had good base width and looked like he would sire popular Spot barrows. The third-place boar exhibited by Pierce & O’Dell was bold in his rib and again really sound. Class 5 top honors went to Triggs Show Pigs with a wide based, heavy boned, long hipped Emancipation boar. A littermate to the champion junior show gilt, Foote Farms made him their second Spot boar purchase at $2,000. Greg and Joni Hartman, Oklahoma, went second with a boar bred like their popular Fall Classic boar. He had a ton of shape, mass and bone. Ellison, Michigan, bought him for $400. The third place Farrer Stock Farm boar had a great hip and hind leg with rib to burn. The fourth place CKL boar, sired by last year’s champion, El Reno, had a great running gear along with abundant rib shape. Chandler, Illinois, selected him for $400. Mitch Wilson’s fifth place boar was a littermate to his popular Exposition boar and gilt that sold for $2,000 and $4,100. A littermate barrow was fifth overall in the junior show. This boar was well built, balanced and attractive.

Summer Type Conference Thank You TIME BOMB

BIG TIME x GOLD DIGGER STC 1st Class 5 Boar

Our thanks to Shipley Swine Genetics, Ohio, for their $4,500 purchase.

Reprinted from Shipley Swine Genetics’ website: This guy was the real power of the show and was easily our pick of all the boars. He has huge back legs, big bones and a heavy structure with excellent nipple quality. He is super square behind and super square up front. He is still long bodied, long necked and most importantly, long hipped with a high tail set.

He is cocky fronted but still stout scaled. Time Bomb is big bladed and full rumped with a big rib cage. He is extra big footed and he can walk all day. Time Bomb has a heads up, go get ‘em attitude with a different pedigree than most. This guy just keeps getting better and we are glad to own this one!

Semen available at Shipley Swine Genetics by calling (866) 376-8986.

These powerful littermates both won their classes at the 2019 Summer Type Conference. They are sired by our Big Time boar and the mother is a Gold Digger daughter and full littermate to Wedding Bells.

SLEDGE HAMMER x MUSCLE MILK

A sincere thank you to the crew at Upperhand Genetics, Indiana, for their private treaty purchase of The Hammer. This guy captured our eyes when he was still on the sow and his style continued through weaning and as the picture depicts, he is a big time herd boar.

Combining unbelievable soundness, correct angles to his skeleton, a correct yet heavy skeleton with mass, rib shape, tons of muscle and all in a stress-negative package. We can guarantee he’ll be used heavily in our operation.

The Hammer is as good as we have put together and is bred and built for the long term. If you have a tough job to do, ask for The Hammer!!!

CW CHESTER WHITE

The Exposition

Show & Sale Report

Chester Whites dominate The Exposition Byline: Jeff Morris Chester enthusiasts must be on a high after the strong showing in The Exposition junior show. An impressive 2,200 pigs showed up from across the nation in the junior portion of the event. After the dust had settled the grand and reserve grand overall Team Purebred gilts were captured both by a Chester! Additionally, when all nine breeds came together to select the top 5 overall purebred barrows the reserve grand and the fifth overall were a Chester! Congratulations to all involved with making this statement of how outstanding Chesters were at the event. While not strong in entries for the open division, the depth of quality was to be admired.

Jay Winter, Texas, was given the task of analyzing the offering. Jay’s roots in the Chester breed run deep and we are appreciative of his positive outlook on this great breed of hogs.

The champion gilt came out of class 2 with a January 2 daughter of Conductor.

Shown by Rachel & Isaac Swinford, Oklahoma, and bred by Kaufman Farms, Iowa, the gilt also won her class and was fifth overall in the very strong junior show. Moderate in kind with an excellent hip and underline the stout featured gilt was top selling at $4,100. Reserve champion was shown by Grace Rempe, Texas, topping class 3. Sired by the show’s premier sire, Blindfold, she separated herself from the rest possessing good top shape, center body and a desirable face and neck. Ryan Toenjes, Iowa, purchased her for $500. The class 1 winner was Gage McNiel, Oklahoma, with a Shock Top daughter. She had the look of a sow with rib shape, an excellent underline and size of vulva. Toenjes also bought her for the same money. Kotton & Taylee West, Texas, was second in class 1 with a powerful, big backed and wide gilt from Rodibaugh, sired by Flashback. She brought $1,400. Runner up in class 2, behind the champion, was Conner Sparks, Texas, with a bold ribbed, correct skeletoned gilt bred by Kneese. Third in class 2 was Kodi Peters, Oklahoma, with a well designed Fiddler daughter. She brought $300 selling to Heidi Benner, Pennsylvania. Clement from Oklahoma, placed fourth with a wide open, stout featured gilt with a good jawline selling for $500 to Blaine Riley, Oklahoma. Doug Lechner, South Dakota, selected the fifth place Whiplash sired gilt shown by Kynlea Myers, Oklahoma. She was big centered and sound with abundant bone. Runner up in class 3 was Gunner Beery, Florida, bred by Gradert. The Jack In The Box gilt had an excellent show ring presence. Wingert from Illinois, added her at $300. The third-place gilt was shown by Riley & Liza Klingenberg, Michigan. Bred by Range, she was what you would expect being extra stout with bone and muscle. She sold for $300.

While short on numbers in the boar show, the depth of quality was not lacking.

The champion boar was consigned by Range Farms, Illinois. This guy was stout skulled, bold, square, big centered with abundant shape and was sired by the premier sire, Blindfold. Armstrong Genetics will give him a chance in Huntsville to make Chesters. A trio of boars highlighted class 1. Judge Winter took extra time to drive these three and understandably so. In the end, Grant Norman’s boar was Jay’s pick and became reserve champion. The Man Power son had a flawless skeleton with a big forearm, thick top and big center. He was co-top seller at $2,250. Outlaw Genetics, Oklahoma, went second with a Lead The Pack boar.

Bold in his rib, long in his hip with a good look best describes him. He brought $2,000. Tessa Criswell, Indiana, had the attractive, heavy boned and balanced boar. Sired by Who’s In, Shaffer Goldrush, Indiana, made him co-top selling at $2,250. Range was second in class 2 with a littermate to the champion. Being good looking and extremely sound separated him from the rest. Tony & Evan Banister, Ohio, went third with a Primal son. Long bodied and added soundness 72

CW CHESTER WHITE

Summer Type Conference

Show & Sale Report

The “right white choice” popular in Springfield Byline: Jack Wall The 7:30 a.m. hour on Friday, June 28, 2019, in the east show ring at the Illinois State Fairgrounds, brought about a lot of enthusiasm, excitement and good vibes to the opening of the Certified Pedigree Swine (CPS) Summer Type Conference Show schedule.

Mark Hoge of Good Hope, Illinois, was certainly up to the task to work this event for the Chester White breed and its members. Well dressed, articulate in his descriptions, professional and thorough in his appraisals and certainly complimentary in his discussions, Mr. Hoge showed to all why he is one of the most in-demand livestock judges within our ranks. Thanks to Mark for bringing his great talents to the CPS ring.

Selected as champion boar was Norman’s first in class 4 son of Man Power. This boar was extremely athletic in his build, tall shouldered, stout, level and muscular yet balanced with a good look from the side. He sold to Wintex Farm and Norman Farms for $4,000. Expect good things from this well-bred and well-designed boar.

Standing second in the same class and selected reserve champion was RBC’s We’re In x Ein son. Extra long, stout and shapely with tons of performance and quality, Purple Power made him the top-seller at $9,000.

Armstrong’s first place boar out of class 3, sired by Twisted, checked lots of boxes for an elite Chester White herd boar. Combining stoutness, soundness, muscularity, growth with a huge chest and forearm, I believe Crossroads’ $1,300 purchase may be as good of a selection as any the past several years. In my opinion, we need more hogs built like this one. Smitty’s first class 1 Bluegrass son had excellent eye appeal, a huge rump, leanness and shape. He sold to Sandell, Ellingson, Schnitz and Holst for $1,000.

Normans topped class 2 with a Whiplash x Hill Jack son who was thick rumped and wide chested. The Webster Family and Hi Point Genetics joined forces at $700 to take him home to Chrisman, Illinois. I believe a good breeding boar was Cole’s second in class 2 son of Cracker Jack. This herd sire prospect was exceptionally long rumped, stout, level, and big skulled. Lean Value Sires stole this one in the daylight for $1,100. You might want to breed a couple to this guy for a reaching genetic piece.

Additional boars exhibited by Wilson, Mason and Ummel Farms found new ownership. When the winter-farrowed litters hit the chips, breeders from all over the land have high hopes for the next great one to survive the fights, hit the feeder and turn into a saleable and hopefully elite show prospect. Man, did the 39 litter born on December 8, 2018, in Abernathy, Texas, bred by the Beyer family meet and most likely surpass these expectations. Selling to the Guyer family as a young prospect, this Hit The Road Jack x First Take daughter had unbelievable success on the show circuit all year long winning the first and last shows she participated in and most of them throughout the show season. Capturing champion Chester White gilt honors at the 2019 Team Purebred National Junior Show and Supreme Champion Overall as well as reserve Chester and reserve supreme at the 2019 The Exposition Junior National, the Guyer family made her available to the buying public in Springfield.

Attractive from every angle, elite in her profile, unbelievably sound and athletic with enough bone, width and muscle in an extremely feminine package, this outstanding female started off an excellent Chester White gilt sale. This offering set a new breed record at $15,000. She returns to Abernathy, Texas, with the Beyer family in hopes of building the next great one. Congratulations to Beyers, Guyers and the Chester White breeders who had any part in putting this one together.

When elite littermates get into two good families’ hands, exciting things happen.

The 53 litter of gilts farrowed by Range Farm by Out of the Box x Walk The Line had lots of power. Showing in class 3, Kayla Toenyes took champion honors with 531. This was a stout made, long fronted, big ribbed, big footed female selling to RnC 76

Parkison and Rodibaugh placed first in the class 1 gilts (Flashback x Trust Me) and was a typical and elite P&R female. Wide chested, sound, a great underline with rib and function, she sold for $800 to Heidi Benner. A great buy here. Wining the oldest class was Allison Hunt’s Jack In The Box x County Line daughter who combined soundness, leanness and attractiveness with a high-quality underline. She sold for $450 to Hurt & Look. Rhett Taylor was in a competitive class 2 with a really stout, big ribbed, maternally built Playboy daughter. Heidi Benner also selected this one for $1,800.

Clayton Wagner made the first of two good sow purchases here at $1,000.

A couple of additional gilt purchases were Janek’s third place class 4 female (Track Star x Hill Jack) who was really wide and stout. She sold for $1,100 to Bauer Bros. of Nebraska. Bennington’s third in class 3 gilt (Trust First x Dead End) was perhaps the biggest footed, most muscular and boldest gilt exhibited. Bred by Wintex, she brought $3,000 to Graham Carr. You need to follow the future of this one. RBC Chesters showed a littermate to the reserve champion boar and this 78-11 gilt stood fifth in class 3. If you like them stout, muscular, good underlined and broody, I would follow the future of this $2,000 purchase of Wagners.

After the great summer the Chester White breed has had in junior shows, the Midwest (The Exposition and STC) it was exciting to see the enthusiasm and attitude carry over to a very good Chester White show and sale. It is obvious that all people have a place within this breed for immediate success.

A big thank you to breeders, buyers, volunteers, and staff who allowed the Chester White breed a terrific week and a terrific ending in Springfield, Illinois.

Whoa!!!

With the development of our 6 genetic lines over the last 15 years and our highly selected sow herd since 1972, we have been able to maintain an undeniable consistency in our Berkshire hogs. Continual improvement in skeletal structure, maternal production, growth rate and meat-eating quality are evolving. Carcass traits for backfat and loin eye area are stable and locked into where they need to be. Virtually every male and female produced are candidates for breeding purposes. The genetic lines derived are from the original sires listed and have resulted into as many as 7 generations to-date within lines. The crossing of the 6 genetic lines has resulted in phenomenal performance.

Pictured is an example of one of our linebred 2OHF Hulk 118-1 boars, who is a third generation Powerline51 TMF8 MACHINE 78-12 boar. He has developed an outstanding record WKF4 ABRAHAM LINCOLN 19-1 and is still going strong at 5 years of age.

TP TEAM PUREBRED Show Report

The Exposition Junior National

June 3-6 Des Moines, Iowa

Exposition starts out strong

by Carson Reed The first week of June in Des Moines, Iowa, really needs no introduction. It is easily recognized as one of the most exciting and rewarding weeks of the year. Thousands of friends and families converge on one location to show off months of hard work in the show ring and participate in one of the many livestock contests. Above all, folks come to Iowa to make those memories that will last a lifetime, and this year, we called it The Exposition.

While many of the exhibitors began to arrive on Monday, the Team Purebred Junior Board showed up a couple of days early to set up and prepare for the week ahead. We kicked off the week with a wonderful Sunday lunch at Diamond Jacks, sponsored by the National Pork Board. It was the perfect opportunity for members of the Team Purebred Junior Board, the NJSA Junior Board along with National Pork Board employees to fellowship prior to the rigorous week ahead. Shortly after lunch we began welcoming the first of our junior members and worked well into the night to help families unload.

For the board members, Monday was spent checking in all the junior exhibitors and while the day was a long one, we thoroughly enjoyed spending time

80

with our junior members and their families. There really is nothing quite like the excitement of move-in day. The week was also kicked off when The Pork Checkoff held a biosecurity and breeding clinic which provided our members an opportunity to gain more valuable knowledge to take home.

On Tuesday, we began the day with an exhibitor meeting and got to hear the first crowd stand out speech provided by Voices Herd, an initiative to give individuals the opportunity to share their story to promote the show pig sector of the swine industry. Dr. Brett Kaysen gave us valuable words of wisdom about caring for others and doing our best to give someone else our time to be successful.

We then quickly jumped right into a heated set of showmanship divisions where sisters Samantha Winter and Shari Bakker worked through the divisions. Samantha judged novice and intermediate while Shari judged the junior and senior divisions.

After the completion of both rings, all division winners came together and both sisters were tasked with picking an overall champion who would receive a year lease on a Exiss Trailer.

After much consideration, the senior division winner, Hallie Landry of Louisiana was selected as the overall champion.

On Wednesday, Levi Canales of Canyon, Texas, was assigned to judge some of the best purebred gilts in the country. The crowd grew

AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 2019

as we neared the final drive on Wednesday evening while the champions started lining back up to come back in the ring. Each one we dropped in the ring was extremely impressive, but the Made To Order Chester gilt that was bred and owned by Lilly Jackson of Indiana was the one that Levi named the champion overall gilt, allowing Ashtin Guyer's Chester gilt to enter the ring and be named reserve overall Team Purebred gilt.

Rounding out the top 5 were Brendon Gross with his champion Spot to be named third overall, while the fourth overall gilt was shown

by Kylie Koechner and the champion Berk shown by Laykn Mauck was named fifth overall Team Purebred gilt.

We came back Thursday with high expectations of the purebred barrow show where Raymond Rice from Oklahoma had the microphone. We started with a bang in the Berkshire breed as the first and second class winners were named the champion and reserve champion Berkshire barrows.

The last few years have been very good for the Chester barrow show in Des Moines, Iowa, and this year was no different. Bryce Bedeker’s Made To Order Chester barrow was quick to grab Raymond's attention and was named breed champion.

As we made it through the rest of the breeds we

BREEDERS DIGEST

had the chance for a quick break while the crossbred barrows showed. Before the grand drive, Voices Herd held a panel discussion with industry leaders sharing their stories and giving us all advice on what we can do to improve biosecurity and herd health as we begin to head home. At the conclusion of the panel discussion, we lined up the champion barrows from both sides of the curtain to name the top five barrows overall.

The champions all came out and judges Raymond Rice and Justin Rodibaugh came together to select the champion Chester barrow as reserve grand overall and the reserve champion Chester barrow as fifth overall.

We rounded out our week with the judging contest followed by the awards banquet, prior to releasing our junior members to head back home after a long and exciting week at The Exposition.

The first week in June in Iowa is rich in tradition and high expectations, and when families travel hundreds of miles to be there, we certainly aim to exceed those expectations. We truly could not have made it through the week without the support and encouragement from our generous sponsors and adult volunteers. It is an honor to work with such a group, and we look forward to seeing everyone at an upcoming event.

2019 SUMMER

Foundation Female

THANK YOU POLAND OPEN GILT

John and Lisa Rinker, Alexandria, Indiana, brought an outstanding Poland female to Springfield to the Team Purebred National Junior Show. She represented the breed extremely well and we cannot thank Rinker Show Stock enough for donating such an elite foundation female to support the youth. Saturday morning, to start the breed sales, we drove the Foundation Female in the sale ring and she had several friends and found herself an awesome new home in Sweet Springs, Missouri. J.R. Reid made a $3,000 purchase for the grandkids to show and continue to build his outstanding Poland herd. J.R. not only purchased the Foundation Female but he also served as a Team Purebred National Junior Show judge all for the junior barrow and gilt shows. On behalf of Team Purebred, we would like to say a big thank you to Mr. Reid for all he did for us this summer.

— Dakota Moyers, Team Purebred Director of Junior Activities

A sincere thank you to Rinker’s Show Stock for their donation and to J.R. Reid for the purchase of the 2019 Summer Foundation Female.

TP TEAM PUREBRED Show Report

National Junior Show

June 24-29 Springfield, Illinois

2019 Junior National Show

by Dakota Moyers The 2019 National Junior Show was one for the record books. We had a record number of entries and junior members who showed up to be a part of the special event in Springfield, Ill. The junior board arrived on Saturday to prepare for an awesome week. Monday night the Team Purebred junior and adult boards gathered to have an awesome home-cooked meal to begin a very eventful week. Monday night to Tuesday morning, we unloaded the record number of hogs that arrived and began check in, too.

Umbarger sponsored a family

meal for all of our families to enjoy together to wrap up the Tuesday night events.

Wednesday, we began with a great meeting of all our exhibitors and followed up with a lunch provided by Sunglo. After lunch, we had Bob Listen and J.R. Reid jump in the ring and start working through a deep set of gilts. A couple divisions of Berkshires and Spots had a huge number of junior gilts to show.

We wrapped the night up with an impressive pair of Chester gilts, shown by Ashtin Guyer and Lilly Jackson, being named grand and reserve grand purebred gilts.

Thursday morning we started the day with the barrow show, and it was again, an elite show. Bryce Bedecker drove his reserve grand barrow from The Exposition to grand champion

honors at the National Junior Show.

After we completed the junior barrow show, we jumped right into showmanship, and Brad Mabry and Hayden Wilder both went above and beyond to get the crowd pumped up. There were four awesome divisions of showmanship.

We wrapped up Thursday night with the barn favorite, the costume contest. We had two very excited judges jump in the ring to work through the 20 contestants who participated in the costume contest.

Friday, we started the day off with the judging contest and had an impressive number of kids show up. Grant Grebner and the ICC judging team were great help in making the contest successfullly work.

We concluded Friday with

an awards dinner and banquet, where we retired five amazing junior board members who will be missed. We owe a huge thank you to Carson Read, Kara Beth Robertson, Lauren Burgener, Elysa Doherty, and Jesse Van Ness for all they did for Team Purebred.

Saturday, the Team Purebred Foundation Female who was donated by Rinker Show Stock was the lead-off female to start the CPS and ABA sales.

J.R. Reid and family were the buyers of the Poland female who was brought to Springfield by John and Lisa Rinker. We owe a huge thank you to so many people who made the week successful. We look forward to working with everyone in the future.

A Summer to Remember CRAZY HORSE

2019 The Exposition Champion Poland Boar

Congratulations to Rachel and Isaac Swinford, Oklahoma, for exhibiting the 5th overall Chester gilt in the junior show at Des Moines and the champion open show gilt. This female was purchased from us this spring.

Our thanks to Croy Polands and Patrick McDonald for partnering with us to bring this guy back to Kaufman Farms. Semen available by calling Terry at (319) 821-3244.

Our sincere thanks to the Laird crew at Premium Blend Genetics, Indiana, for seeing the future in our Summer Type Conference Poland boar entry. Sale day saw this guy, Black Mamba, command a new record for the breed, selling for $65,000. We are so anxious to see fellow Poland breeders use this guy and we can’t wait for the results.

After leaving Springfield, the Lairds were approached by so many people wanting semen contracts on Black Mamba that they gave Terry a call to inquire about any littermates. That’s when Premium Blend added Bear Down to their herd sire lineup!

H HEREFORD

The Exposition Show & Sale Report

A memorable day for the Hereford breed Byline: Jack Wall Unless you have been living under a rock, you probably have heard just a little bit about the improvements in the quality of Hereford hogs across the country.

It may have taken a couple years of preparation and planning but the 2019 The Exposition in Des Moines, Iowa, on June 7 and 8 was a great place to showcase the new era of Hereford quality. Low on numbers but high on quality are the simpliest terms I can use. What a set of boars and gilts for the inaugural “Herf Nation” show.

Grant Norman, seasoned purebred swine breeder from Sidell, Illinois, proudly accepted the important task of putting together a sale order for the breed and with four boars, four open gilts, and one bred gilt to appraise, he had quality and positive phenotypic pieces in every class that, in my opinion, will be true building blocks and success stories in their new homes. Thanks, Grant, for your comments, professionalism and support of the CPS breeds.

Only four boars were shown but they all came with some punch and power.

Capturing champion honors was Runge Show Stock’s first class 1 son of Never Back Down. An awesome creature to look at and appraise, this guy and his kind are extremely hard to make and duplicate, in my opinion. Built with an incredible look, with excellent balance, with muscularity, shape, width of chest, proper bone, and maturity from an awesome litter, this unique boar could likely be a model for years to come. He gathered a lot of attention at sale time commanding a $21,000 bid from Crossroad Genetics, Troy and Tegan Walker, Corya Swine Farm, Albright Swine Farm, and Behrends Farm. I liked this one a lot and he had to be really good to capture championship honors away from Loof and Walker’s first class 2 son of Taco Truck. Excelling in heaviness of structure, soundness, squareness of build, height of shoulder, and a true herd boar look, I have a lot of confidence in this stout rig to help the breed. Contact Shaffer Goldrush who made a great $700 purchase on this powerful boar. Veteran Hereford breeders Don and Chris Linneman have been strong supporters of the breed and their second class 1 Quizz Badass son was truly sound, well designed, well grown, natural in his build and will keep one in the hog business. Young and progressive Iowa breeder Brayden Weldon made a good $400 purchase here. The final boar shown was Barker’s second class 2 Double D son. He was stout and thick ended with rib and dimension.

Only one bred gilt was exhibited and that was by Jim Buttles. Due for an early July litter, this Built Right daughter bred to ASF Harry was long sided, feminine, showing a good litter, and can keep one in the Hereford business.

Four open gilts were offered and all were of high quality and received plenty of accolades and praises ring side. The champion gilt was the winner of class 2 and a young January 6 female. This Taco Truck daughter, expertly driven by Genai Lopez of Texas, offers great design, structure, look, muscularity, soundness, and terrific show-ring appeal. Bred by Shaffer Goldrush, they were ring side and supported their customers but more importantly, purchased a potential breed improver for $2,700. I will keep an eye on this one. The reserve champion Hereford gilt very likely was the youngest hog of all nine breeds selling in Des Moines, Iowa. Grady Genetics’ first class 1, February 15 Taco Truck daughter, has a tremendous future if her maturity and look holds true. This 127-pound photogenic lady was a show hog from the word GO! Elevated, stout bones, square made, thick hipped and sound, she sold to Phillip Ives from Arkansas for $2,600. I will keep asking about this one also.

A couple of really practical, broody, sound, and problem-free females concluded the Herefored gilt sale. Linneman’s second class 1 gilt sold to B.J. Agee for $650 and Michaels’ second class 2 gilt sold for $300 to Jim Buttles.

Okay, Hereford breeders . . . the door has been opened and the water has been tested in 2019. Herf Nation is ready for your best in Des Moines, Iowa in 2020.

H HEREFORD

Summer Type Conference

Show & Sale Report

“Herf Nation”hype continues in Springfield, Illinois Byline: Jack Wall When the Hereford train gets on the track there is nothing that can slow it down.

After the inaugural Hereford show at The Exposition, many people, including myself, wondered what the Hereford excitement and interest would be in just a few weeks in Springfield, Illinois. Have no fear . . . quality, diversity and a great evaluator of pigs under the judging talents of Mark Hoge made the 2019 Summer Type Conference Hereford Show an elite one from the start. Congratulations Hereford breeders and enthusiasts on a great event.

There were multiple boars Judge Hoge talked about to be class winners and or champions. His reasoning and justification fit the hogs. Thomas and Erin Robinson topped the competitive boar show with a Just Say Yes x Too Short entry from class 3. He was extra complete, lean, square and shapely topped, with excellent design. He should be a very popular $20,000 selection for Premium Blend Genetics.

If you love them really stout, square built, tall shouldered, stout skulled yet mobile, the Walker first class 4 and reserve champion Red Rum son should be on your must-use list. Southern Gold’s $2,500 selection of this boar should be a popular one. A very unique and perhaps breed-changing boar hit the sale ring next. Consigned by Quizz Herefords, this Jet Liner x Smoke Wagon son stood second in class 3. Built as wide and bold as you dare to build them, sound, muscular with a huge forearm and massive chest and structure, Shaffer Goldrush made him the breed’s all-time second top seller at $40,000. Save back a couple of your favorite females to try on this unique boar.

Adam Hendricks had a pair of good boars. His second place in class 4 son of Caught My Eye was really good in his design, big chested and sound. He sold to Jolt Genetics for $2,500. His second in class 1 son of Can’t You See was tall shouldered, long fronted, immature but bold in his skeleton and built like an athlete. He sold for $8,000 to Brian Beaman and Family.

The Hirschfield’s first place class 1 son of Stronghold was another well-built, problem-free boar who covers a lot of basics. Thick rumped, lean, square built, heavy boned and sound footed are just a couple of his attributes. Breeder’s Choice and partners spent $2,500 very wisely. Jolt Genetics and Nate Joseph also made very good boar purchases from Quizz Herefords and Behrends Family.

If you have previously read The Exposition show report, you would have seen a lot of positive things said about the $21,000 champion boar, New Era, sired by Never Back Down. There were some good littermate gilts shown in the Junior Show at Des Moines, but one also found her way to Springfield, Illinois. Miles and Bryn Hannan of Fremont, Nebraska, made the trip with a powerful and popular Hereford female. She had a tremendous show look that combined width of chest, a square and shapely top, great angles to her skeleton, femininity and design. Quizz Herefords made the $3,250 purchase of this female. I suspect I might know a boar she could get bred to.

Alyssa Chapman stood reserve with a littermate to the Walker reserve boar.

This gilt had a great underline, was tall fronted and sound with a good rib. She brings $1,900 and returns to Sperry, Oklahoma. Quizz’s first in class 2 War Cry daughter had a female look and was sound, good ribbed and level. She returned to St. Paris, Ohio, for $1,200. Michaels’ second in class 2 Imposter-sired daughter is a typical, correct, maternal feminine female selling for $500 to Grady Genetics.

Clint High’s first in class 1 Stronghold 16-3 daughter had width, rib shape, body and correctness. She sold to Lindsey Galbreath for $800. Quizz, Quinn, Linneman, Bruns, Grady and Lanham sold other popular gilts.

Fact: There is no breed that has made more strides in terms of phenotypic

PC POLAND CHINA

The Exposition

Show & Sale Report

Good start for Polands at The Exposition Byline: Jeff Morris 2019 will definitely go down as a year to remember with many challenges facing our industry. From a winter that would not end, spring flooding, planting delays, market challenges, and threats of foreign animal disease there has been plenty to be discouraged about. After the cancellation of the World Pork Expo, your breed associations stepped up to make sure the animal exhibition portion would continue. Through several hours of planning and hard work, The Exposition was successfully held in Des Moines, Iowa.

Grant Norman Sidell, Illinois, was given the opportunity to discuss the nine Poland boars and 21 gilts with the ring-side attendees. There is not a person around who has more of a passion or enthusiasm for purebred breeding stock.

Thank you to Grant for his commitment and service. His positive comments were very appreciated.

Kaufman Farms, Iowa, had their entry named champion boar after winning class 2. A full sib to last year’s popular Sitting Bull, the Rain Dance son had the look of a champion. Wide based, heavy boned, a big expressive top, a long hip, and attractive profile described him. Kaufman, Croy, and McDonald partnered to make him top selling at $4,500. The reserve champion was exhibited by Thompson and Son of Hutchinson, Kansas. Sired by the premier sire of the show, Casino, he was the winner of class 1. The boar excelled in soundness, width and squareness while having a good look. Being a January 1 one can see him maturing into an excellent herd boar prospect. Heidi Benner, Pennsylvania, made a buy here at $600. Placing second and third behind the champion were a pair of littermate boars from Lance and Mitchell Westcamp, Ohio. The boars were big outlined, big bladed and big middled hogs while being athletic on the move. Placing fourth in class 2 was a Voodoo son shown by Brennan Armes, Texas. This boar was the EST boar of the show being extremely wide based with a huge top. James Horton, Oklahoma, purchased him for $650. Placing second in class 1 was Mercedes Schulz, Wisconsin, with a tall fronted, good looking Nirvana son. Being dark in color with good muscle, he could make Poland’s better. Third was Megan Mench’s Black Bear son. The boar was stout featured with lots of internal dimension. Fourth was Keely Harrelson, Arkansas, with a Shine On boar being moderate in frame with muscle expression while being sound. This January 15 boar’s best days are ahead of him and Double Diamond Showpigs, Oklahoma, saw his value at $400.

Lauren Kaliff, York, Nebraska, took top honors in the gilt show with a gilt sired

by Midnight Rider and bred by Hirschfeld Livestock. Tall shouldered, relaxed on the move while being stout featured made her a worthy champion. Cook Family, Indiana, spent $3,100 to add her to their sow herd. The reserve gilt followed her out of class 3. Shown by Twister Genetics, Oklahoma, this Casino daughter had abundant muscle, was well balanced and was really opened up. Third in class 3 was one described as freak fronted being wide chested, big bladed with excellent rib. Madelyn Rennecker, Ohio, was behind this gilt. Fourth and fifth were a pair of littermates shown by the Rourke Sisters, Iowa. The gilts sired by Black Bear were sound, big centered, productive looking females. Brattain Farms, Indiana, and Todd Dickinson, Arkansas, purchased them for $550 and $300. Placing sixth was Annie Hubbard, Texas, with a bold ribbed, big backed gilt sired by Nailed It. Klinefelter, Illinois, selected her at $500. The top-selling gilt was the class 1 winner shown by Emily Kiefer, Colorado, with a Nailed It bred by Wintex.

She excelled in muscle and chest width while being extended with a great hind leg. Raymond and Sheryl Rice, Oklahoma, purchased her for $5,300. Placing second and third in class 1 were Kash and Embrey Moser, Oklahoma, with a pair 108

of gilts from Rice. Good on the profile, lots of dimension and feminine, made you appreciate them. The class 2 winner was Madlyn Nichols, Texas, with a tall fronted and square gilt. Placing second in class 2 were the Blakenships from Arkansas, with a bold ribbed, big centered gilt bred by Masters.

Thank you to all who played a part in making the first The Exposition a success.

CW PC POLAND CHINA Summer Type Conference Show & Sale Report

Polands set records at Springfield Byline: Jeff Morris Exciting times continue for the Poland China breed as two Poland barrows cracked the top 5 overall in the junior show and we set a new record for a Poland boar at this year’s event in Springfield, Illinois. A record number of junior hogs, along with 37 boars and 31 gilts were exhibited at the CPS Summer Type Conference. Rex Smith, Indiana, was given the task to judge the Poland China open division. Rex has a lifelong passion for show pigs and especially purebred swine. Rex’s professional, thorough and enthusiastic approach was appreciated by all in attendance.

Class 4 boars proved to be the class of the day as the champion and the reserve champion both came out of this class, along with multiple other good boars behind them. What a fitting tribute to one of the great Poland families as Jerry Masters received the champion boar trophy given in honor of his late father.

Truly an emotional and touching tribute to Jerry and his family. Jerry’s boar, sired by Sugar Daddy, was bold and wide with muscle. The boar tracked wide and commanded the ring. Ben Culp, Indiana, purchased him for $3,000. Reserve champion honors were given to Kent Brattain & Family, Indiana. This First Sight son was tall fronted with a long neck—all in a complete package. Cole Reeves, Texas, was the successful bidder at $500. Placing third in the class was first-time boar exhibitors Talena and Annabeth Sprecher, Wisconsin. The Jackpot boar, out of their 2017 American Royal Champion Gilt was heavy boned and sound with muscle. The Banisters, Ohio, placed fourth with a Nailed It son. The boar was well balanced and had a big center body.

Class 5 will go down as one for the ages as the soon to be record-setting Poland boar hit the ring. Winning the class was Mercedes Schulz, Wisconsin, with a structurally correct no holes son of Midnight Rider. Southern Gold Sires will make him available to the public giving $1,000. Michous had the secondplace boar with a bigger outlined, big centered, bold ribbed Rain Dance son. Jim Waits, Oklahoma, had his Bring On The Heat-sired boar go third. Then came the fourth-place boar exhibited by Kaufman Farms, Iowa. After the bidding ceased on Saturday, he brought an eye popping $65,000 and became the new all-timerecord-selling Poland boar. Sired by Black Bear and the dam being a littermate to Sitting Bull, the boar was unique in being extremely heavy boned and along with a dark dense hair coat desired by many Poland showmen. Balanced and moderate framed he should prove popular making competitive Poland barrows.

Congratulations to the Kaufman family for breeding this unique boar. Thank you to Premium Blend Genetics for their support. Make it a point to call the Laird’s crew for semen on this exciting Poland boar.

Class 1 boars was topped by Cooper Secker, Illinois. Cooper’s boar excelled in length of front and had a huge top. Mercedes Schulz goes second with a son of their Hog College Boar. The $2,500 boar was stout featured and had an incredible show ring look. John Rinker, Indiana, placed third with a littermate to the $3,000 Team Purebred 2019 Summer Foundation Female. Winning class 2 was Bryan and Scott Bennett, Illinois. Fast growing, large volume and sound best describes this stress negative Flat Liner boar. Ned Smith, Indiana, appreciated that and bid $600 to own him. Rinker’s Fearless boar was second being long bodied and long hipped. A&D Polands followed in third with a tall fronted, big rumped son of I Told You So. The class 3 winner from Reid’s Polands, Missouri, excelled in foot, blade and top shape. Right behind Reid in second was Derrick Mikesell, Ohio. Derrick’s boar sold for $2,900 to Shaffer Goldrush. Stress negative, good shouldered, great hipped and hind legged and heavy structured made him one of the barn favorites. Raymond and Sheryl Rice, Oklahoma, was third with a heavy

boned, big bladed, big footed son of Casino. He sells for $400 to Center Prairie Genetics, Illinois.

The champion gilt plaque was awarded to Mercedes Schulz with a gilt sired

by Midnight Rider. A flawless side profile with blade and bone made her an impressive champion. Clothier & Mende made her top selling at $6,250. A pair of littermates to the champion, shown by the Newton family, go second and third.

Built much like the champion, they both sell for $1,600 to Benner and A&D. The reserve gilt came out of class 3 for Raymond and Sheryl Rice. The Rain Dance daughter was tall fronted, attractive and stout featured. Premium Blend Genetics made her second top-selling at $3,200. Kylie Michener, Texas, was second with a Hammer Time gilt being well balanced and complete. Geisgie, Ohio, purchased her for $300. Cooper Secker goes third with a Fusion gilt being heavy boned and thick muscled.

Class 1 was won by Cody Iberg, Illinois, with a gilt bred by Reid. Sired by Hot Pursuit, this one was very sound with good bone and shape. A&D goes second with a littermate to their boar. An attractive, large volumed gilt, Mclayn Musick, Illinois, purchased her for $900. Allison Hunt placed third with a Job Security daughter. Tall fronted, heavy boned and sound made her a favorite of the States family bringing $400. Fourth was Mercedes Schulz with another Midnight Rider.

She was feminine in her look and was level made. Moores from Indiana gave $300 to own her. Class 4 was topped by Alyssa Reid, Missouri, with a Sitting Bull daughter. Bigger outlined and sound with good muscle expression separated her.

A&D was the winning bidder of this female at $1,000. Moxi Moyers’ Staytonbred Sledgehammer daughter was second. Huge centered and sound this gilt had a successful show career. Stayton decided they needed her back giving $2,750 for her to go to Carlinville. Maddison DeOrnellas, Illinois, placed third with a really wide and really heavy boned First Sight gilt.

There was one entry in the Herdsman gilt class. This class is devoted to stress negative gilts with a high sow productivity index. This particular gilt could have withstood some competition. Shown by the Weinberg family she was deep bodied, bold ribbed and had a great underline and vulva. Mclayn Musick purchased her for $500. The Shott Family, Illinois, brought us a high-quality bred gilt sired by Night Sky. As I conclude, I first want to give a huge thank you to John Rinker and family for their generous donation of this year’s Team Purebred foundation female. After agreeing to donate this female, I was welcomed on the farm this spring and John graciously said, “Select any gilt you want.” Thank you to John and his family for their support and sacrifice. Dakota Moyers and I landed on a February gilt sired by the reserve boar from National Barrow Show® and the dam was champion at the Indiana State Fair. She definitely looks like a foundation female. Thank you to J.R. and Tina Reid for their $3,000 purchase to support Team Purebred. Thanks again to Rex Smith for judging our event. Thank you to everyone who made this record-breaking event a success. See you at a state fair later this summer.

T TAMWORTH

Summer Type Conference

Show & Sale Report

Back with force and pride in 2019 Byline: Jack Wall After a one-year hiatus, the Tamworth breed, under the Certified Pedigree Swine (CPS) management team, conducted a high-quality and successful breeding stock show and sale. Following a very competitive Team Purebred barrow and gilt show, I was looking forward to the open show as definite phenotypic improvement has been made. Thanks to the Tamworth Association and Board of Directors for allowing us to coordinate and manage the show.

Although numbers still need to improve, Judge Rex Smith confidently, positively and professionally placed and discussed each entry. His reasons and placings made logical sense and allowed for a successful sale.

Twelve boars were divided into two classes. Grady Genetics took top honors in class 2 and champion boar with a Guess What x Big Change son. This highquality boar had a big foot, forearm and was muscular with a wide hip and growth.

He scanned a 10.8 LEA and his brother an 11.6. More Tamworths need this guy’s power, build and structure.

The top-selling boar was the Williams Family’s reserve champion boar. This one was a Guess What x Copy Cat. He was moderate in his frame size, big ribbed, square hipped and extra sound. Stoner and States teamed up to purchase this guy for $2,300.

Wagoner-Glietz-Denny’s entry hit the ring next. This In The Red son was sound, lean, correct and balanced. He went to Bannister and Westcamp for $500.

Shanafelt’s third place out of class two son of In The Red was big hipped, wide chested and tall shouldered. He sold to the Miller Triplets for $400. Henderson Family and Grady Genetics also sold boars for $400.

Only five open Tamworth gilts were offered but quality was definitely not lacking.

A tremendous champion was shown by Peyton Hill, and this Zephyr daughter had several high placings in the Team Purebred Junior Show. Folks, the top-end gilts were really good. The Hill champion was really wide chested, great in her profile and design, clean fronted with a great underline. It took Crossroad Genetics $4,500 to take this one home to Clayton, Indiana. We have been told this is a new breed record.

Congratulations.

It took a good one to take championship honors, as the Henke Family came ready to compete at a high level. This Guess What daughter was extra-long rumped, long sided and muscular with foot and bone. Welcome to the Tamworth breed Gibson Family. Excellent $1,000 buy. The final gilt selling was Stoner’s attractive, sound, bigfooted Game Changer daughter.

As we close the books on this Tamworth version of a successful 2019 STC, we say thank you to the breeders for their assistance during the show and sale. We wish everyone well in the months and years ahead. You have an interesting breed with several unique and positive traits. The others need to attempt to emulate, charge forward and make the next generation better.

Power is in Their Genetics

Try Again 2019 STC Champion Chester White Boar

Normandy 2019 STC Reserve Champion Spotted Boar

A big thank you to Wintex Farms for partnering with us on our champion boar at Springfield. This NBS7 Man Power x AG5 Banjo 55-9 son offers a lot of breeding opportunities to those who want to incorporate heaviness of skeleton, skeletal correctness, correct muscle shape, height and boldness of shoulder with a true athletic build. We will breed several of our top Chester White females to Try Again and feel confident that Will and Jay will make him work well in Lubbock, Texas.

A sincere thank you to repeat buyer Shaffer’s Goldrush for their $3,500 selection of our Noise Complaint x Turbo son at Springfield. All great boars have great mothers and this one, plus his paternal grandmother, is no exception. We truly believe Normandy has the genetics and phenotypic capability to sire with the best of them. We love his heaviness of skeleton, width of chest, muscularity and boldness, rib shape and flexibility to generate better Spotted hogs. Thanks again to Terry and crew for their continued confidence in our program.

3rd Class 4 at Summer Type Conference

The Impersonator 1st Class 2 at Summer Type Conference

Stateline Genetics and George Holst teamed up to purchase this littermate to the reserve champion boar at Springfield. An impressive boar from a genetics standpoint, great build, correctness at the ground with shape, muscularity, width, and correctness will aid these progressive herds. Watch for great things from this powerful boar.

Thanks to High Point Genetics and the Webster family for their selection of this 14-1 Whiplash x Hill Jack (2017 NBS® Home Run Drive Supreme Champion Gilt) at Springfield. This thick ended, big chested, sound, muscular topped boar needs to be used by progressive breeders. We think this one is built for the big time. We suggest you follow the short and long term future with this unique Chester White boar.

The ULTIMATE FEMALE purchased here as an open gilt by Nate Joseph.

“If you are in the market for some great Spot breeding stock, I would highly encourage you to take a look at Kevin Wetovick’s list of pigs for sale. I bought a gilt over a year ago, sight unseen, from him. I had never met or even talked to Kevin before the day I called to purchase a bred gilt. The day I picked up the gilt, I was more than impressed with the gilt that he had picked out for me. Kevin has become a great friend/ mentor and tells it how it is. He doesn’t hide anything about them. These hogs would be a great investment for anyone looking for some Spots.” — Eric Castle, Pleasanton, Kansas

INTRODUCING ...

HOME RUN

We are excited about our 2019 Summer Type Conference purchase from CKL Spots, Oklahoma. This guy had several friends in Springfield, and it took $6,500 to get him to Iowa. He is being housed at Midwest Connection Boar Stud, Craig Olson’s place at Newhall, Iowa.

Owners of HOME RUN include Resler Genetics, Niehaus and Feldman Genetics, Joel Olson, and Jayme Sieren. He will have a great chance getting bred to these firms’ elite sow base and at CKL Spots, as well.

Jerry Masters

“The most rewarding honor I have ever had was when the Poland China Board of Directors announced the Ray Masters Memorial Traveling Trophy award given to the champion boar exhibitor at the Summer Type Conference. My good friend, Raymond Rice, was the initial winner in 2018. It was an emotional day for me at the 2019 STC when I was awarded this honor. Of all the awards and honors I have had in my 52 years of raising Poland Chinas, this one is the most cherished. The memory of my dad lives with me each and every day. We traveled hundreds of thousands of miles together and he always encouraged me in my breeding and selection efforts. Words cannot express how humbled and honored I am to be a part of the Poland China Record Association.” — Jerry Masters

Bred by Stickler Show Pigs

Take a ride back in time with us to the 1988 National Barrow Show® when Sasquatch was named champion boar. Jim Trowbridge had a passion for purebred Spots and a vision and work ethic like no other. He secured these genetics over time by utilizing frozen semen from SGI. When the Trowbridge family brought those genetics to Springfield a few years back, we jumped at the opportunity. We purchased the 100% Spotted female just to mate her to our old line Lovgren boar, Duggie. The rest will soon be history. LOUIE is one of a kind. Prehistoric bone, soundness, with toughness and durability. His first litter was born last February and is all we had hoped for on a key Duggie sow. We hope to take them to this year’s National Barrow Show® if everything goes right. TOTAL outcross to modern-day Spots and a breath of fresh mouth wash, Louie could just be the one to move us forward!

We are currently farrowing year-round to meet all your A huge thank you to our Springfield Summer Type Conference buyers! show pig needs.

We sell semen on our boars year around so give us a call — we will have a boar that fits your sow!
